00:00:00Tonight, it's our second semi-final.
00:00:05Which team will be meeting Justin Will in the grand final?
00:00:12Can Logan besties Loll and Lil...
00:00:14We are bringing new techniques that we don't usually do.
00:00:17We've done.
00:00:18...elevate their menu.
00:00:19It is very ambitious.
00:00:21Never have we seen them use fancy stuff like lobster.
00:00:25We are running out of time, Loll.
00:00:27Here's some time.
00:00:28Thanks, Colin.
00:00:29Thanks.
00:00:30Or will boss friends Maria and Bailey...
00:00:33We've wasted complex.
00:00:34...correct past mistakes.
00:00:36The judges have been saying simple, simple, simple.
00:00:39I'm gonna keep it simple tonight.
00:00:41To land a last remaining grand final spot.
00:00:45It's gonna be show-stopping.
00:00:47They should be threatened by us.
00:00:49Maria and Bailey are going down.
00:00:51The Bogans from Logan.
00:00:52Are we intimidated by them?
00:00:54No.
00:01:00What do you mean we made it to semi-finals? Isn't that crazy?
00:01:21It is. I know. It's gonna be an insane day. This is the day that counts the most.
00:01:25Yes.
00:01:26So it's gonna break out all. Yes.
00:01:27It feels like such a great achievement that we have actually made it to the semi-finals.
00:01:34I must say, I've never expected to see Low and Lil in the semi-finals.
00:01:38The Bogans from Logan.
00:01:40Are we intimidated by them?
00:01:42No.
00:01:43Let's go!
00:01:44Woo-hoo!
00:01:45Let's go!
00:01:46Woo!
00:01:47Both teams are worthy competitors for us in the grand final.
00:01:51Maria and Bailey are great cooks.
00:01:53Low and Lil won our respect since the Ultimate Instant Restaurants.
00:01:56They did an amazing job.
00:01:58I'm so stoked to see them cooking at the semi-final.
00:02:02Get it, teams!
00:02:06Bonsoir, bonsoir. Good evening.
00:02:08Hello, hello.
00:02:09Woo!
00:02:10Welcome, teams.
00:02:13Mary and Bailey, Lowell and Lil.
00:02:17Tonight is all about you.
00:02:20Your passion, your talent.
00:02:23Standing up there is Justin and Will.
00:02:27They are the first team through to the grand final.
00:02:31And one of you is only one cook away from your place in a final test that will decide Australia's best home cook and determine who takes home $100,000.
00:02:46We have never been this close to winning $100,000.
00:02:49It is absolutely life-changing.
00:02:51We didn't come here to come fourth or third.
00:02:54We came here to be in the grand final.
00:02:56Maria and Bailey, Lowell and Lil, are you both feeling confident today?
00:03:01Yeah.
00:03:02Yes.
00:03:03A bit quiet.
00:03:04Quietly confident.
00:03:06We've grown so much as cooks.
00:03:10I feel like everybody can see that.
00:03:13And each time we try and elevate our dishes and take on your feedback and just learn from it, that's what we're doing today.
00:03:20Clown and Lil, they have been through this amazing journey.
00:03:24It's time for them to pack their bags and go home.
00:03:27We have experience in the kitchen, the drive to go to the end, that's enough for us to win.
00:03:34Will it feel bad sending your friends home?
00:03:38No.
00:03:40We mentally already have.
00:03:43They're like cats.
00:03:44They've used up all their nine lives and this will be their last life.
00:03:50Lowell and Lil, so what would it mean to you to win this whole competition?
00:03:55It would mean the world to have everyone that's come before us and told us we were going home standing up there and we are told we have won.
00:04:03That would be nice.
00:04:04I would love that.
00:04:07Not this week.
00:04:09Good luck and we are so happy you're going to be watching us in the grand final.
00:04:13Let's get the knives out.
00:04:14Shwing, shwing.
00:04:16I sharpened mine before I got here.
00:04:17Maria and Bailey aren't threatened by us, however they should be if you look back at how we got here.
00:04:24Since round two we've been above them every single time, so I think they should definitely be threatened by Lil and Lil.
00:04:29Tonight we want two spectacular courses.
00:04:34Mane and dessert.
00:04:37Justin and Will, you'll see exactly what you're up against.
00:04:41You guys, and Justin and Will, will join us at the tasting table.
00:04:47Mate, we are taking notes.
00:04:48We are scrutinising each team's weaknesses and strengths and are going to try and exploit the weaknesses in the grand final for whoever gets to do it tonight.
00:04:55So we've got our notepads out and we're going to use that to our advantage.
00:04:59Teams, you'll have two hours for your mains and one hour for your dessert.
00:05:04The storeroom is topped with everything you need.
00:05:08Please move to your benches.
00:05:09Woo!
00:05:12Alright, love, so what are we thinking today?
00:05:15Obviously, we have to go big or go home.
00:05:17We're going to keep it simple but lots of beautiful flavour.
00:05:20Okay.
00:05:21We just need to present amazing food today and we're going to be in the grand final.
00:05:26Are both teams ready? The storeroom is open.
00:05:29Your time starts now.
00:05:31Get out of here!
00:05:33Go!
00:05:34Go!
00:05:35Here we are!
00:05:36Woo!
00:05:37Come on!
00:05:38Woo!
00:05:39Ah!
00:05:41Holy crap, girl.
00:05:44I grab the lobsters that we need for our mains.
00:05:46I definitely don't have enough hands to do two at once, so I've got to do a few trips here.
00:05:50Just going to take a whole lot.
00:05:52We really want to showcase truffle and mushrooms because they'll really elevate by our mains.
00:05:57Wow, that looks amazing.
00:05:58I'll get started on prepping those lobsters.
00:06:02For our main, we are making a sous vide lobster tail with lobster-infused hollandaise and a pickled fennel salad.
00:06:09It's the Logan Lobster Lady.
00:06:12One lobster tail out!
00:06:13It's just a delicious piece of seafood.
00:06:15It's also very expensive.
00:06:17It's something fancy.
00:06:19Something we don't usually do because we are the Logan Bogans.
00:06:26I hope we do it justice.
00:06:28We are elevating our dishes, bringing some techniques that we haven't shown before.
00:06:32We are going to fight so hard for our spot in the grand final tonight.
00:06:35We will stop at nothing to get there.
00:06:38Done.
00:06:40Suvi is getting to temp.
00:06:42Lou, what are you making?
00:06:43Ah!
00:06:44We're making sous vide lobster tail with lobster-infused hollandaise and a pickled salad.
00:06:51Ooh!
00:06:53That's awesome.
00:06:54That is a 10 out of 10 dish.
00:06:56Lou and Lou have made chicken skewers, chicken and leg pies.
00:07:00Never have we seen them use fancy stuff like lobster.
00:07:04The risk is if you overcook lobster, it's chewy, it's stringy, it's just not nice.
00:07:10But if it's undercooked, it's still gooey.
00:07:13Yeah.
00:07:14So you've got to find that balance.
00:07:15If Lowell and Lil can pull off this dish tonight, they could be going straight to the grand final.
00:07:20Like, semi-finals?
00:07:21They're going fancy, right?
00:07:22Yeah, man.
00:07:23Like, lobster's not like small-time plate.
00:07:25No.
00:07:26That is a fancy move.
00:07:27Yeah.
00:07:28We're just really trying to elevate and show the judges how much we've grown, and we're
00:07:32hoping that that pays off today.
00:07:34I'm expecting a very close bottle today.
00:07:37The thing is, can Lowell and Lil elevate the dishes and Camarilla and Bailey pair it right
00:07:43back?
00:07:44I'm going to get started on the pasta for our main course cook.
00:07:48For the semi-final, we are making a truffle and porcini cagliatelle with wild mushroom sauce.
00:07:55Alright, so I'm just going to separate my egg yolks.
00:07:59I love mushrooms.
00:08:00I love truffle and I love cream.
00:08:03So putting all these three elements together, I just love it.
00:08:07So Bailey, I'm just adding some porcini powder in my pasta.
00:08:12The judges have been saying this whole competition, simple dishes done well is the way to go.
00:08:18And I'm just going to bleach that a little bit.
00:08:21Excellent.
00:08:22We have been listening.
00:08:23I know that it looks like we haven't.
00:08:25However, let's do a pinky promise that I'm going to keep it simple tonight.
00:08:29Okay, I'm in for this.
00:08:31I always put my pasta mixture in a blender.
00:08:34It's definitely more efficient and you don't get as dirty.
00:08:37We have worked so hard to be here in the semi-final, especially after round two when we were
00:08:43on the bottom of the leaderboard.
00:08:45And now I'm going to do the rest by hand.
00:08:48The good thing about pasta though is you can never over-need it.
00:08:51So her arms will be very sore.
00:08:54Maybe.
00:08:55Get a subscription for the gym today.
00:08:58We're here to win.
00:08:59Bailey and I, with everything that we do, we always give 100%.
00:09:04And we believe from day one in our abilities and cooking skills.
00:09:09And we really, really want to be in the grand final.
00:09:12So Bailey up the door and I'm going to put it aside to rest and we'll deal with that later.
00:09:17Yep, great.
00:09:18I'm just currently skewering the lobsters so that when I blanch them, they don't curl up.
00:09:24And we can remove the meat out of the shell a bit easier.
00:09:27Smash it, Lil.
00:09:28We are aiming for beautiful dishes tonight.
00:09:31That's the plan.
00:09:32Everything that's going on the plate tonight is with intent.
00:09:35It's going to be delicious, flavourful and technical.
00:09:38Lobsters are in.
00:09:40So if you look at Lil, it's got our lobsters going into our pot of water for 30 seconds,
00:09:44then into our ice.
00:09:46Ice to cook it then straight away so they stop cooking.
00:09:49Yep.
00:09:50And then they're going to take the shot off.
00:09:52We really would love if Manu and Colin said our lobster was cooked perfectly.
00:09:57That's all we want.
00:09:58We are out of our comfort zone today.
00:10:00We are bringing new techniques that we don't usually do.
00:10:02Look at that.
00:10:03It's beautiful.
00:10:04We have to blanch 12 lobsters and get them in an ice bath and sous vide them,
00:10:09which is a little bit scary.
00:10:10Like we've sous vide a handful of times.
00:10:13But if we get the grand final, it's so worth it.
00:10:17It's high risk, high reward.
00:10:19Maria, I don't know if it's a smart move for Lo and Lil to be making lobster.
00:10:22I mean, you know, it's got some technique involved in there
00:10:25and I don't know if they have that yet.
00:10:27I'm hoping this meat just falls straight out.
00:10:30They're inexperienced in the kitchen, to be honest.
00:10:33But look, they're sponges.
00:10:35They've learnt a lot.
00:10:36But this is the end of the road.
00:10:37This is the moment of truth.
00:10:39Oh, dear Lord.
00:10:41Gently.
00:10:42It's perfect.
00:10:43Oh, beautiful.
00:10:44James, 30 minutes gone, 90 to go.
00:10:45Let's go, Maria.
00:10:46Woo!
00:10:47Hello!
00:10:48Go, girls!
00:10:49Maria, it looks like I'm running a mushroom farm.
00:10:50Yeah, let's pick from the wild one.
00:10:51I think these ones are cute.
00:10:52We're going to bring great flavours tonight.
00:10:53And we're going to add some beautiful wild mushrooms for the extra bite.
00:10:55Cut it in quarters.
00:10:56Yep.
00:10:57If it's too small, leave a hole.
00:10:58Because it will shrink once we pan fry it later.
00:11:14Teamwork is going to be imperative for us tonight if we want to get into the grand final.
00:11:19Bailey, I'm so proud of you.
00:11:23You are moving extremely fast.
00:11:25Us, as Boss Besties, we have put in so much work.
00:11:29It has made us grow as friends.
00:11:31We've been through tough times.
00:11:32We've been through crazy times.
00:11:34How many elements do you guys have?
00:11:36Not many, if any.
00:11:37We've been through absolute chaos.
00:11:39And we've come out still best friends.
00:11:42And we're ready to win this thing.
00:11:44Is there any more mushrooms?
00:11:46I think you have enough for the plates that we need, darling.
00:11:49So, obviously, we're in the grand final.
00:11:50Yep.
00:11:51Which feels unreal.
00:11:52Yep.
00:11:53Who are we going to go up against?
00:11:54Bailey, our kitchen smells delicious right now.
00:11:57Like Bailey and Maria, they're looking pretty strong.
00:11:59Yep.
00:12:00They're working well today as a team.
00:12:02You're going to be in charge here, darling?
00:12:04Yep.
00:12:05And then we've got Lola and Will over there.
00:12:07They're working great together.
00:12:09Both teams are working hard at the moment.
00:12:11I found a new way to de-poop it.
00:12:13But we know what it's like in the kitchen.
00:12:16Anything can happen.
00:12:17It's anyone's game tonight.
00:12:19Oh, my God.
00:12:20This is so good.
00:12:23Oh, my God.
00:12:24Let's go.
00:12:26Still to come.
00:12:27It's simple.
00:12:28Two teams, only one spot in the grand final.
00:12:32Well, we are fighting to the depth.
00:12:35To the depth.
00:12:36The battle is on, and this is just spectacular to watch.
00:12:40Maria and Bailey have a plan.
00:12:42This is the first time we're doing something so simple.
00:12:45But will simple be their downfall?
00:12:47Oh, it's not coming out.
00:12:49Oh, Maria, why isn't it coming out?
00:12:51Oh, no.
00:12:52It's baby.
00:12:54That is a total fail.
00:12:56This could cost you your position in the grand final.
00:13:07Get a move on.
00:13:08This is not a grand final.
00:13:10Let's go.
00:13:11Let's go.
00:13:12It's our second semifinal.
00:13:13It's Maria and Bailey versus Lowell and Lil.
00:13:16You mean everything to us if we can pull this off today?
00:13:19Bailey, I'm so proud of you.
00:13:21You're working fast.
00:13:22Bosses versus besties.
00:13:24I'm feeling good.
00:13:25Are you feeling good?
00:13:26I'm feeling good.
00:13:27I need to get these in.
00:13:29On one side, we've got a sous-vide lobster.
00:13:32On the other side, we've got a truffle tag telly.
00:13:34Okay.
00:13:35I need some bigger bowls.
00:13:37The thing is, Camarilla and Bailey bear it right back.
00:13:40It's going to have to be strong in flavor, though,
00:13:41because there's nowhere to hide.
00:13:43Canlol and Lil elevate the dishes from what they normally do.
00:13:47You could see this in a fine dining room.
00:13:49Yeah.
00:13:50100%.
00:13:51Mm.
00:13:52There's a solid gameplay.
00:13:53Yeah.
00:13:54They know their roles.
00:13:55I think they're doing all right so far.
00:13:57Justin and Will get to taste and critique the dishes
00:13:59so they know exactly who they're up against in the grand final.
00:14:02I reckon it's going to come down to the wire with dessert.
00:14:05But that's what we want.
00:14:06Yes.
00:14:07We want it down to the wire.
00:14:08Yeah, 100%.
00:14:09You can feel it in the air.
00:14:10Both teams do not want to go home tonight.
00:14:12Oh, my God.
00:14:13The battle is on, and this is just spectacular to watch.
00:14:17Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
00:14:19They should be working on their mains and dessert collect.
00:14:22I have to start on desserts early,
00:14:23because we have a panna cotta in our dessert,
00:14:25and we need a few hours for that to set.
00:14:27For our dessert, we are making berry panna cotta and vanilla creme tart.
00:14:32We're doing a mixed berry panna cotta,
00:14:33so we have all the berries, which will be delicious.
00:14:37We absolutely love this dish.
00:14:39This is kind of two desserts in one,
00:14:41so we get the best of both worlds.
00:14:43You have a beautiful, wobbling berry panna cotta
00:14:46sitting on top of the tart shells
00:14:48with a delicious vanilla custard.
00:14:50We took inspiration from all different types of recipes,
00:14:53and then turned it into our own creation.
00:14:55Definitely want that dough done for the parts.
00:14:58Kind of has to chill before I roll it.
00:15:00There's so many elements, but they all work so well together.
00:15:03There's a lot of nerves creeping in right now, Lil,
00:15:05because we've made it this far.
00:15:06I don't want it to be like we go home now
00:15:08when we're so close to the end.
00:15:09It's us on a plate.
00:15:10It is.
00:15:11It's colourful, vibrant and tasty.
00:15:13It's really something to impress the judges.
00:15:15Get us through that grand final.
00:15:16Lil, the dough feels great.
00:15:17I'm really happy with it.
00:15:18Getting it in the fridge now.
00:15:19Awesome.
00:15:20One out of ten minutes, come on!
00:15:23Woohoo!
00:15:24Maria, I'm going to get started on the dessert.
00:15:27For our semi-final dessert cook,
00:15:29we are making a duck egg creme caramel
00:15:32with a vanilla twill.
00:15:34Okay, so I'm going to do my duck eggs.
00:15:36Traditionally, you use like chicken eggs,
00:15:39but we're going to go with duck eggs
00:15:41for some extra richness.
00:15:44This dessert is definitely a classic.
00:15:47So, Bailey, for the perfect creme caramel,
00:15:49we want a nice silky smooth cream.
00:15:52Mm-hmm.
00:15:53This is a very risky dessert.
00:15:54Yes, it's simple, but it can definitely collapse
00:15:57if it doesn't bake and chill on time.
00:16:00We know that in our last instant restaurant,
00:16:02Lo and Lil scored a 10 for their dessert,
00:16:04so they definitely could beat us here.
00:16:07All right, Bailey, you're doing the caramel for our ramekins.
00:16:10Yes.
00:16:11The caramel is used for the inside of the ramekins,
00:16:14and it'll melt nicely over the top
00:16:16when we flip it over to serve.
00:16:18All right, Bailey, we just need to act quick,
00:16:20otherwise we're going to be here forever.
00:16:22I would have done the caramel in a saucepan
00:16:25and a frying pan, and I would pour it.
00:16:27Pour it in.
00:16:28Using it.
00:16:29I just don't understand the amount of work doing it.
00:16:31Is that enough?
00:16:32No.
00:16:33You're making the duck egg creme caramel.
00:16:38Mm-hmm.
00:16:39Little bit risky.
00:16:40You won't know until you flip it over.
00:16:42Yeah.
00:16:43And it's on the plate.
00:16:44Mm.
00:16:45If there's enough caramel to go over the top.
00:16:47Yeah.
00:16:48And then is there enough sweetness to go with it?
00:16:50My ideal plan was for this to be in, like, 10 minutes ago.
00:16:56One hour to go!
00:16:57Halfway Trilla!
00:16:58Come on, move it!
00:16:59Yeah!
00:17:00Hi-yah!
00:17:01Lil, I'm starting to finish off that berry panna cotta.
00:17:04Good job.
00:17:05Get that done.
00:17:06That needs to be set.
00:17:07A panna cotta should be so smooth.
00:17:10You should be able to glide through that with a spoon.
00:17:12Panna cotta needs to be wobbly, Lil.
00:17:14It has to shake everywhere.
00:17:16All right, I'm going to put the gelatin in this mixture.
00:17:19If it doesn't, you've added too much gelatin
00:17:22or something's going wrong with your mixture.
00:17:25Baking is absolutely my happy place.
00:17:27I think it's because it's the one thing I did with my grandma
00:17:30from, like, this big.
00:17:31Just pouring the panna cotta mix in now for dessert.
00:17:34Really happy with the consistency of this, Lil.
00:17:36It's smooth.
00:17:37Perfection.
00:17:38I miss her so much, but she'd be so proud of how far we've come,
00:17:41and I want to get to that grand final for her as well.
00:17:44Dessert has taken up a little bit of main course,
00:17:46but it had to be done.
00:17:47Otherwise, we ain't going to have a dessert.
00:17:49So both dishes are as important as each other today.
00:17:52Maria and Bailey are really strong opponents,
00:17:55so to make it through to the grand final,
00:17:57we have to have absolutely no mistakes tonight.
00:18:00Lil, can you please really quickly open this door?
00:18:02Both dishes have to be 10 out of 10.
00:18:04Go, go, go.
00:18:05Or we probably don't stand a chance.
00:18:07That's done.
00:18:08Ah!
00:18:09It's buried everywhere!
00:18:11All right, you ready to get these poured?
00:18:14Yeah.
00:18:15The mixture is nice and luscious.
00:18:18With this dessert, it's all about setting it.
00:18:21I am so frustrated.
00:18:23These creme caramels should have been baking already.
00:18:26We want a really nice, tight aluminum foil situation.
00:18:31It's just taking time of our actual main course,
00:18:34and that can mean that we won't have enough time to make the pasta.
00:18:39And I hope it doesn't cost us the grand final.
00:18:42I hope so, too.
00:18:46We need to get these lobsters into the CV machine ASAP.
00:18:51These will take about 40 minutes.
00:18:54I think this is definitely what the judges expect from a semi-final.
00:18:58It's elevated.
00:18:59It's everything we've learnt in the competition.
00:19:02There's a few ways of cooking lobster,
00:19:04and I think the ladies are using three of them today.
00:19:07Doing good, lol.
00:19:08I think they're trying to prove to us with the sous vide
00:19:11that they can cook,
00:19:12but is that the way they normally do it?
00:19:15I'm going to double seal it.
00:19:17I think they're getting a little bit of technique
00:19:19in the way of what they really want to do,
00:19:21and they want a sous vide for 40 minutes,
00:19:23and we've only got 47 minutes left on the clock,
00:19:25so they're leaving it pretty tight on this one.
00:19:29Lol, we're at the crunch time now.
00:19:31I need to get these in.
00:19:33Even if we have them in for half an hour, Lil, and just pan fry them.
00:19:36Yep.
00:19:37Far out.
00:19:38Lol and Lil still haven't got the lobsters in the sous vide yet.
00:19:41What's going on?
00:19:42We need to get these in now.
00:19:44I reckon there's flaws in the game plan.
00:19:46If Lol and Lil don't plate up anything,
00:19:48it is a complete disaster.
00:19:50That is a total fail.
00:19:52Pack your bag, girls.
00:19:53Yeah.
00:19:54Pack your bags.
00:19:55Usually sous vide, it's a low and slow process.
00:19:57You need the time behind you,
00:19:59and I don't know if they'll have enough time tonight.
00:20:01Putting one batch in.
00:20:02Good job.
00:20:03You got a timer on for it?
00:20:05I'll get it on.
00:20:07Well, they've been in elimination before,
00:20:09and they've pulled the rabbit over the hut,
00:20:11so hopefully today...
00:20:12They'll put your tail out of the bag.
00:20:14Lol, I've just put the other two...
00:20:17batches in for 30 minutes.
00:20:20Leaves us enough time to pan fry them all and plate.
00:20:22Yep.
00:20:23Bailey, can you start the porcini mushrooms
00:20:26for our sauce for the main?
00:20:30We want a really nice, creamy truffle sauce
00:20:33with the porcini in there.
00:20:36Alright, Maria, they're soaking now.
00:20:38Hello, hello!
00:20:40Hello!
00:20:41So, main course, we've got...
00:20:43A truffle tagliatelle.
00:20:45Yep.
00:20:46We're gonna serve it with a nice truffle sauce,
00:20:49with mushrooms.
00:20:50Is that it?
00:20:51Yes!
00:20:52No gel, no foams.
00:20:53No gel.
00:20:54That sounds delicious.
00:20:56You've decided to go from complicated
00:20:58into a very simple dish today,
00:21:00which I really appreciate,
00:21:02but which means the pasta needs to be perfect,
00:21:05the sauce needs to be perfect,
00:21:07and I want it well seasoned.
00:21:09Done.
00:21:10Absolutely.
00:21:11Thank you, Mene.
00:21:12Thank you, Mene.
00:21:13This is the first time we're doing something so simple.
00:21:15We've always done complex,
00:21:17and if it goes wrong, we can hide behind that.
00:21:19Here, we're so vulnerable.
00:21:21If we make any mistakes, that's the end of the road.
00:21:24Alright, I'm ready to start the sauce.
00:21:26The next set of minutes are crucial.
00:21:31There's so much to do right now.
00:21:33We've got to make lobster-infused hollandaise.
00:21:35The heads are in the pot.
00:21:37That's where the flavour's gonna come from.
00:21:39We've got the sous-vide machines going.
00:21:41Oh, my God.
00:21:42It's getting real.
00:21:43We're trying to think about everything you need to do.
00:21:45We need to get the saucer started.
00:21:47We are running out of time, lol, but that's okay.
00:21:50Here.
00:21:51Here's some time.
00:21:52Thanks.
00:21:53Thanks, Colin.
00:21:54Thanks.
00:21:55We are definitely out of our comfort zone with this menu.
00:21:57It is very ambitious.
00:21:59Get in.
00:22:00Goodbye.
00:22:01We have so much to do in the timeframe.
00:22:04So, we're getting all the beautiful tails
00:22:06and some of the heads into a pot with some shallots.
00:22:08It's something we don't do all the time,
00:22:10and this is like do or die.
00:22:12So much on the line.
00:22:14We've got to get moving.
00:22:15Time's taking over.
00:22:17So, if we don't smash it, it could be a huge failure.
00:22:21We're just hoping that pushing ourselves
00:22:22out of our comfort zone pays off.
00:22:25Very behind time.
00:22:26It's okay.
00:22:27This is the last chance we get to prove
00:22:30that we deserve to be in the grand finals,
00:22:32so we just have to make sure we do that.
00:22:35They're going to have to hurry up,
00:22:3640 minutes left on the clock, to make a sauce now.
00:22:39Good luck.
00:22:41Freaking out.
00:22:4230 minutes left.
00:22:43This is not a grand final.
00:22:44Let's go.
00:22:45You're fast.
00:22:46As long as we go through the grand final,
00:22:47I'm happy to lose a finger today.
00:22:49Go big or go home.
00:22:50That's exactly what we're doing.
00:22:51It's our time to shine.
00:22:52This is the second semi-final.
00:22:53Riem Bailey against Lowland Mill.
00:22:54The lobsters won't take long.
00:22:55How long do they have though?
00:22:56Because you need to get them on the pan.
00:22:57Like 12 more minutes.
00:22:58Lowland Mill is serving sous vide lobster
00:22:59with lobster hollandaise with lobster hollandaise
00:23:01and pickled fennel salad.
00:23:02Good job, Low.
00:23:03You got the fennel and cabbage.
00:23:04How's that pickle mixture going?
00:23:05Good.
00:23:06It's almost ready.
00:23:07This is the second semi-final.
00:23:08Grand final.
00:23:09I'm happy to lose a finger today.
00:23:10Go big or go home.
00:23:11That's exactly what we're doing.
00:23:12It's our time to shine.
00:23:13What is the taste of the lobsters?
00:23:14I'm happy to go.
00:23:15I'm happy to go.
00:23:16You need to have some more vegetables though
00:23:17because you need to get them on the pan.
00:23:18Like 12 more minutes.
00:23:19Lowland Mill is serving sous vide lobster
00:23:20with lobster hollandaise and pickled fennel salad.
00:23:23Good job, Low.
00:23:24You got the fennel and cabbage.
00:23:25How's that pickle mixture going?
00:23:27Good.
00:23:28It's almost ready.
00:23:29This salad really goes well with the lobster.
00:23:31That lobster needs to be cooked perfect
00:23:32and the garnish needs to pack a punch.
00:23:35Baily, I'm going to add some wine in there.
00:23:38Just a dash.
00:23:39So, Marie and Bailey are making truffle and potions
00:23:42truffle and porcini tagliatelle with wild mushroom sauce the perfect sauce will have a beautiful
00:23:49luscious feeling we want to have enough so it can coat our pasta it's a very different
00:23:55marie and bailey in the kitchen they used to do about six seven elements so let's hope
00:23:59they concentrated on three and doing well bailey i feel like we're definitely showing technique
00:24:05not only we're making fresh pasta we're elevating it with truffle the tagliatelle
00:24:11needs to be perfect i'm just gonna go with some truffle so they're gonna roll it truffle
00:24:17fold it roll it and it becomes part of the sheet yes it becomes like marble between the pasta and
00:24:23the truffle which is delicious can you turn it up a little bit that's so creative man that's what
00:24:30semi-finals are about yeah that is so impressive wow they are big threats now like we didn't have
00:24:38that sort of perspective at the start but these guys are heavy contenders right now wow that looks
00:24:43amazing to think that potentially we can be up against justin and will in the grand final
00:24:51it's gonna be a good feeling we're so close we can't lose now that's right all right this is the
00:24:57last pasta sheet that i'm doing after that we start cooking come on let's go let's go are you happy with
00:25:04every element let's go girls i'm getting these lobsters out of the bag perfect because we've
00:25:12only had them in sous vide for 30 minutes we need to finish them off in the pan i'm just looking for
00:25:18a color on the outside they look pretty much almost done we want to be a cut above the other team we want
00:25:23to show that we can do this much in this time frame and it still is amazing 10 minutes come on
00:25:33we literally have no time i don't know if they're gonna make it in time yeah i actually don't know
00:25:37if lowland will have lobster on the plate today the clock's ticking man you haven't got much time
00:25:43take one tester off
00:25:48a bit longer i think it is very easy to undercook and overcook a lobster tail you don't have much
00:25:53grace between it being perfect and then going over so you've got to keep an eye on it turn that heat
00:25:59up or those are not getting them cooked all right let's start cooking the pasta it's very doable because
00:26:06it only takes two minutes i'm getting everything prepared for maria i'm getting parmesan i'm getting
00:26:12truffle ready to make sure that we can have a quick transition from pot to plate let's go
00:26:17i've nearly got these ready maria and bailey's dynamic is actually surprising they're actually
00:26:24working well as a team and stop it now like i sort of don't want that now a little bit concerning
00:26:31yeah like if they make it through geez we might be getting a run for our money here the pasta will
00:26:35continue cooking so i don't want to go all the way i love this dish so much but being so simple it can
00:26:42leave us vulnerable if law and lil cook the perfect lobster we might be in trouble here
00:26:50oh lindale we got six minutes let's go right lil i'm getting these out i need to do the hollandaise
00:26:57yep we don't have time to wait we literally have six minutes the butter needs to be hot so we just
00:27:03sip it and then straight from the pan we're going to put it into the egg
00:27:07lol's making the hollandaise sauce now if that splits i've got to redo it again i'm going to start
00:27:14from scratch that's not enough time to nurture and put some lump in the sauce i mean they are going
00:27:19to be going through that sauce so fast yeah don't know anything's going to taste that great just move
00:27:25move move it's going to be tight it is again we never leave ourselves much time anytime the lobster
00:27:32should come out i don't want to overcook them i'm just hoping that the lobster's cooked perfectly
00:27:39everything's going to be great lil it's fine we're going to cut it really close but that's our style
00:27:43that's what we always have done plating plan is pickles then we've got hollandaise the lobster
00:27:50i'm plating it looks like you're doing a nice swirl in a ladle come on james three minutes left
00:27:56let's go really happy with the holidays we can add a bit more lime juice oh my god this is so
00:28:04stressful we have so many elements we need to get on there we had a goal to do a beautiful pickled salad
00:28:10with radishes that stood up and a mermaid beans some tarragon flowers when you have the time it is a
00:28:18work of art we do not have the time one minute one minute one on top maria 100 bailey's gonna put
00:28:29some white mushrooms around for the bite and then we're gonna shave some more truffle where's the
00:28:37this is really stressful i'm just trying to do my best to remain calm so that one of us is calm
00:28:42and one of us is freaking out this and hopefully this combination together
00:28:47we'll get everything on the plate with enough time all the way this is the end girl semi-final
00:28:52and you've got 30 seconds left on your ankles come on get the flowers on little quick quick quick
00:28:59yeah get tarragon leaves it's no time yes there is get it on 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
00:29:15so that's it thumbs up move away from your bench
00:29:21nice work girls really on hey it still looks pretty for rough
00:29:28a little bit ugly but tastes amazing i'm so proud of both of ours
00:29:31that's beautiful it has a lot of flavor and we kept it simple and that's what the judge has been
00:29:41screaming at us for i definitely think we've done enough to beat low and low how do you think we went
00:29:46i think like we're ready for the grand final you're right yeah thank you team for all your efforts please
00:29:53join us at the table you two justin and will and we'll taste all your food i'm proud we came here to
00:29:59be in the grand final we need to make it there we have taken every comment on board from the dodgers and
00:30:04we've elevated our main so i just have full faith it's going to pay off tonight it would definitely hurt
00:30:11if law and little took our spot to the grand final because we're just so close and i feel like we do
00:30:18have everything we need to win this competition coming up the knives are out like undercooked and
00:30:29quite raw in the middle war i don't know about that as both teams fight the pasta was slightly overcooked
00:30:36uh girl what are you talking about for their spot in the mkr grand final
00:30:54teams what a hard foot main course it's clear your balls wanted to give us something that you're proud of
00:31:02we're stoked to be tasting the food tonight it definitely will be an indicator of what we're
00:31:07up against i'm in the grand final i'll be taking notes but ultimately it's up to the judges to decide
00:31:12the better dish let's try marian belly's truffle and porcini tagliatelle with wild mushroom sauce
00:31:23thank you our main course is simple but looks beautiful and tastes amazing it would be great
00:31:35for justin and will to really feel intimidated by us bon appetit
00:31:53the question
00:31:55try the question
00:31:57it's not really wow
00:31:59it's not really wow
00:32:01it's not really
00:32:05yeah
00:32:07let it be more salt
00:32:09right
00:32:11right
00:32:15right
00:32:17right
00:32:19right
00:32:21that was unreal i thought the truffle was going to be really overpowering but
00:32:28i think the balance of the cream and the mushrooms was really good truffle pasta is such a beautiful
00:32:34classic dish i mean this is something that i would jump on at a restaurant i would like a little bit more
00:32:41seasoning on the mushrooms yeah just a touch of salt but overall semi-final dish
00:32:46it was the best feeling hearing that justin and will love our pasta dish i feel like they're quite
00:32:56tough to impress and that means we could be threatening to them and i'm so excited
00:33:02i think a little bit more salt would have been really nice maybe the mushrooms a little bit finer
00:33:05chopped through it i liked how creamy it was i liked that the truffle wasn't too overpowering the only
00:33:12thing is i think the pasta was slightly overcooked
00:33:14the loran liu are being a little bit childish with their critiques i feel like this is
00:33:22borderline disrespectful
00:33:24you could tell it wasn't even genuine they were just trying to find things to throw out there that
00:33:28it could be bad
00:33:30so let's try loran liu's sous vide lobster with lobster hollandaise and pickled fennel salad
00:33:45we are showing that lil and i are here and here to stay
00:33:49our main dish is definitely elevated so our willingness to take on the judges critiques and
00:33:55feedbacks and adapt that into our new food is why we are going to win today bon appetit
00:34:15so that's also right
00:34:18this is not both flavors
00:34:19a lot and little are really trying to impress the judges by picking an expensive protein rather
00:34:26than that flavor and that could really send them home yeah it's undercooked mine
00:34:31it's a good combo
00:34:51awesome effort like using the sous vide the two-hour cook was quite impressive thank you
00:34:57my lobster was just really inconsistent the hollandaise sauce it's got plenty of salt in
00:35:03there can taste the salt which does give seasoning to the lobster and then with the pickled salad
00:35:08there was nice good flavors in there all three together as a banger dish if the if the lobster was
00:35:14done well i had one of the bigger pieces of lobster and i think that is like undercooked and quite raw in
00:35:23the middle law i don't know about that it is absolutely not that's crazy the lobster i had
00:35:30was cooked great so yeah you're just throwing comments in there to try and make it seem like
00:35:34that but no i highly disagree with that comment uh maria how do you feel about your position
00:35:40i feel that we've done enough and we definitely have very good flavors and nothing really went wrong
00:35:47for us so i think we do have a stronger dish well no one get ahead of themselves because we're only
00:35:54halfway through teams take a break while manu and i have a little chat about the dishes
00:36:02we are trying to show manu and colin that we can step up our game when needed
00:36:05we're not here to cook basic home food anymore so i'm just praying that the judges are gonna love it
00:36:11and that's what really counts okay let's start with lola lil's lobster it doesn't look great but i
00:36:24think there's a lot of flavor there yeah yeah the lobster tail is a little inconsistent but with the
00:36:31hollandaise goes well together very tasty better food mhm marian bailey's pasta we did ask for simple
00:36:40but there's also shown amazing technique the addition of the truffle inside out of the pasta was
00:36:46great yep the sauce was brilliant i thought it was executed very well the showcase truffle and the
00:36:52pasta is full of flavor i've got one definitely in front of the other um but after seeing both desserts
00:37:00that can all change indeed still to come oh my god it's now or never no what are you doing
00:37:10we are fighting to the death for the death come on just clean with a spot in the grand final up for
00:37:17grams go go go go go who can hold their nerve this is hectic just get them on and serve up a winning
00:37:25dessert i know this dessert can be a 10 out of 10. maria and bailey going down
00:37:40let's go teams back your benches let's go guys let's finish strong yeah teams that was a wild start
00:37:47but right now we have marian belly ahead the judges announced that we are ahead and i feel great am i
00:37:58surprised me not surprised yeah but it's all to play first deal i know this dessert can be a 10 out of 10
00:38:05i have full confidence in it so we are going to pull it together get back on our horse and ride it to the
00:38:10grand final thames you have 60 minutes for your dessert and your time starts now let's go okay
00:38:19we are a step closer to the grand final that's right we can do a baby do it
00:38:26we're gonna check our creme caramel
00:38:32yeah i think it's good it's great it's ringing look for our semi-final dessert cook we are making a duck egg
00:38:38creme caramel with a vanilla twill remove them from the water so they can start cooling down
00:38:44we won't know if it works for us until we can flip one over to taste i know that it's simple but we can
00:38:50achieve perfection and that's all that we have to do we are going to do some stencils for the vanilla
00:38:57twill we want to add a vanilla twill to our creme caramel for the texture it's almost like a thin biscuit
00:39:04let's measure our plate something like this would be actually that's perfect no it looks like they're
00:39:10doing some arts and crafts at the moment they got the scissors out yeah they've got some cardboard man
00:39:14they've been cutting out some shapes they've pulled out the flour this could be a paper mache
00:39:20and this is the beauty about baking right you can be as creative as you like this is our last chance
00:39:27to prove to the judges that we have everything that it takes to go through to the grand final
00:39:33once we're half an hour through we can take out our caramel and give it a try so i'm starting
00:39:41the vanilla creme lol's gonna do half i'm just separating the egg yolks for dessert tonight we
00:39:46are making our berry panna cotta and vanilla creme tart we need to get out the perfect dessert if we want
00:39:52a chance at staying in this competition and we did not come this far to go home now no two desserts in
00:39:58one is definitely a semi-final tactic we want to show that we can do double the workload in the
00:40:03same amount of time and produce a beautiful dessert this dessert is so delicious it's nice and light but
00:40:09you get berry vanilla and a beautiful short crust pastry we have done a lot of prep for dessert in
00:40:14main course but there is still quite a bit to do i'm going to get this on i'm going to move the panna
00:40:21cottas to the freezer just to make sure they set perfectly my biggest concern for dessert is the panna
00:40:27cottas and getting them set in time otherwise it's not making it to the table these looking
00:40:32really good little i'm just putting them in the freezer just to make sure they definitely harden
00:40:36up we could have done just a panna cotta just a tart but we thought you know what we've seen that
00:40:42already in the competition and this is the semi-final this competition is so important to lil and i
00:40:47oh my god keep going after this our friendship is 10 times stronger good that looks perfect long
00:40:55remind me to stab it with four yes we want this heart base to be pretty thin but not too thin that
00:41:01it cracked i definitely don't want this to be our last dishes of the competition we don't come from
00:41:07much yeah but we really want to be able to get to that grand final to show our families and the judges
00:41:12how much we can do all right lil i'm just putting baking beads in our bases look at these first ones
00:41:17in real quick i'll start rolling the rest yeah a lot of them need to do well to save their position
00:41:25or to move forward that's right is it good taste it perfect so smooth so silky
00:41:35and then on the other side you've got marie and bailey they've worked very well up to now like
00:41:40they've got the main components done now they just need to zhuzh it up a couple of twills over the
00:41:46top and that's it so is that going to be enough to win this 30 minutes to go give us a winning dessert
00:41:57okay let's do the thrill oh that's nice and thick this twill next we'll go next yeah i'm getting there
00:42:04chop chop we don't have time i know we really need to be careful because we're going to spread that so
00:42:10thin that it could potentially burn in the oven so we really need to watch that closely
00:42:15we can't let them burn because we won't have time to do more we are so close to going into the grand
00:42:23final and winning 100 000 dollars bailey you're doing a fantastic job i could not do it without you
00:42:29we have been so motivated since day one and that's enough for us to make it to the grand final bailey
00:42:36this needs to turn really nice and crispy yep it's going to be the texture of our dessert so we're
00:42:41going to set a timer for maybe six minutes yes we are doing everything we can to stay in this
00:42:49competition that is true lil we are not letting anything get between us and the grand final maria
00:42:56bailey are going down wow it's better to be third than second right no it's better to be first the
00:43:06grand final spot is definitely ours to take and i feel like if anyone's meant to be there it's us
00:43:13i wonder what they're even doing for dessert i don't even know i want to know what we're up against
00:43:18maria and bailey what are you making for dessert we are making a dark creme caramel with a vanilla
00:43:25twill oh very nice did they say duck eggs duck egg duck egg what and how and why are you incorporating
00:43:33that into a dessert how about you guys we're doing a berry panna cotta and vanilla creme tart oh yeah
00:43:41feels like they've created two desserts in one we will be definitely sending a postcode to law and
00:43:49lil from the grand final all right second tart shells are going in lil 20 minutes left are you on
00:43:56track anything bring that here so we can both taste our beautiful creme caramel so they've cooked them
00:44:04in the bowl so what you do with the creme caramel is go around with a knife turn it out and you've got
00:44:08that caramel cascade over the sides we're looking for a nice release we want the creme caramel to be
00:44:16nicely and sweet and firm but really nice and silky get a move on come on are you ready
00:44:27oh it's not coming out oh dear oh god oh no oh no
00:44:34oh maria why isn't it coming out this could be a disaster it could cost you your position in the
00:44:47grand final
00:45:00this semi-final is hectic this is the second semi-final we are fighting to the death or the
00:45:06death both of these teams today are pushing hard to get to the grand final with justin and will what a
00:45:12battle deserves there is so much going on at the moment there is a lot of stress i don't know if
00:45:18they're going to make it in time are you all right i'm all right maria and bailey are cooking a
00:45:26duck egg creme caramel with a vignette wheel oh maria why isn't it coming out this is not what i was
00:45:36expecting baby okay okay okay okay it's out oh my god finally it looks good we need to have an easy
00:45:45release okay got it we definitely don't have time for all these creme caramels to get stuck in the fridge
00:45:52no you can have them arrested there that could be a disaster oh darling lord and lil are doing berry
00:45:59panna cotta and vanilla cream tart are these second tarts are almost done they decided to do something
00:46:06new which is basically putting two desserts together right we'll check the panna cottas and
00:46:11today will be the ideal day for it to pay off for them all right i think these are good lil gonna put
00:46:16them in the fridge 10 minutes to go low and lil have so much work on their hands they have got to bake
00:46:25the tarts let the tarts cool fill the creme into the tarts that is a lot of work bro they've made it
00:46:31they don't like making it easy for themselves man so the girls are going like a step up from what they're
00:46:37used to it's quite elevated but they have got to make sure they nail every single element not only
00:46:44i've had a turn for one of their desserts maria and bailey never really never hit the heights
00:46:50because they're over complicated the desserts and if they had a pair of the back maybe they would
00:46:55have got a 10. i would know bailey we need to more faster we can start plating we'll get those berry
00:47:03compots in the sauce jars tarts are in the oven and we still got to fill the tarts with vanilla creme
00:47:09still got to put the panna cottas on still got to decorate i'm starting to get the berry compote into the
00:47:15sauce jars i don't even know if we're going to be able to do it but i'm trying to keep my hopes up
00:47:21the bases look amazing
00:47:26i'm gonna start plating i'm moving out the chantilly cream and this is gonna be a beautiful
00:47:30complement to our creme caramel it's gonna cut through the sweetness and add a little bit of
00:47:36light texture too belly this is it it's now or never we need to flip our creme caramels i need them to all
00:47:46flip easy we don't have time to waste so i hope this is an easy process for us
00:47:50i can see you're moving just please they're getting stuck again this is so frustrating we don't have
00:48:01a lot of time this is my worst fear we really really want to be in the grand final look at me
00:48:08have a big breath i need to get them out of these ramekins now and go oh these look so good
00:48:17just oh the creme caramel looks amazing wow maria's done a fantastic job with this
00:48:24baby i'm so happy i can't believe it so good lord and now we got six minutes let's go
00:48:32i'm gonna start putting the custard into the tart plating this dish is an absolute nightmare we're
00:48:38filling the tart up to the top we have so many elements we need to get on there i think this is
00:48:43as fast as we can go it's two desserts in one double the workload definitely picking our best kind of
00:48:48hot as lil we never give up and we just push our hardest and we are gonna get this done i thought
00:48:54it was two separate desserts but it's one dessert i think it might go together i agree get the strawberries
00:49:02on lil get them on i think we put like the twill here on the plate we have the creme caramel we have
00:49:09the vanilla twill and we have the chantilly cream simple simple simple we can't hide we're just gonna
00:49:15bring the flavor that could send us to the grand final ladies i'd hurry up with that garnish you've
00:49:25only got three minutes and you've got one tart finished i'm not finished and this is hectic just
00:49:30hurry up get into second gear maybe start putting one raspberry next to the cream and a bit of chopped
00:49:36pistachio be careful they're very fragile come be careful eggs
00:49:44lol and lil you're running out of time two minutes left quick hands let's go two minutes
00:49:51come on ladies come on shaking i can't even put them on properly you know once i picked the berries
00:49:57up they weren't going anywhere it's like enough things that my my muscles stopped working which
00:50:02berry do i grab like i don't even know i think my muscles are broken i'm shaking so much i can't
00:50:08even put the strawberries on without them like like i'm actually shaking one minute all the cooks all
00:50:21those nights away all comes down to this hit the sire zone
00:50:2710 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
00:50:40you're right just we knew it was going to be a push we knew it was going to be hard and we did
00:50:48it i am super proud of us we have come so far as cooks this dessert can absolutely take us to the
00:50:55grand final we got every element on there it will taste amazing well i think that the judges are going
00:51:02to love it we finished off with the dessert that we're proud of yeah i just hope it's enough
00:51:08i can't believe it look we're still complicated inside but it's not on the plate anymore not on
00:51:14the plate i mean look at this beauty this is restaurant quality i love this dish so much like
00:51:19this is our last chance to prove to the judges that we have everything that it takes to go through to
00:51:26the grand final yes teams you've done all you can do come join us at the table and we'll taste your
00:51:32desserts i'm praying to the gods i don't want it to be my last cook i need to get through to the
00:51:39grand final like it needs to all be worth it teams what an exciting cook-off that was
00:51:52there is no doubt that you guys deserve to be here the thing is do you deserve to be in the grand
00:51:59final with justin and will colin and i will decide who will be the second team into the grand final
00:52:08i think we definitely have a chance of making it through to the grand final i always have hope until
00:52:13it's taken away from me so i'm just holding on here at this table for one thing to taste those desserts
00:52:22first let's try lol and nils berry panna cotta and vanilla creme tart
00:52:32thank you thank you i am so pleased with the results of our dessert i think it's elevated and
00:52:41every element just compliments each other so well and it is just delicious
00:52:45this is the best dessert we could have produced today so i hope that it does get us over the line
00:53:02so
00:53:18what a good tart
00:53:19it just looked beautiful and that's exactly how it tasted too amazing i thought i was going to get
00:53:29two separate desserts and then they combined and i was like okay we've got a science experiment over
00:53:33there this is definitely not what i expected it to taste like it's a wow yeah with the smoothness of the
00:53:41panna cotta creaminess of the vanilla cream and the crunchiness of the tart that's a banger
00:53:47i would have personally done a smaller panna cotta on top because it can be quite creamy but i think
00:53:54really good flavors obviously you put a lot of love into this one that's very clear because it tastes
00:54:01quite nice quite nice quite nice are really nice you know quite nice that was very specific
00:54:07so how confident that you're making it through to the grand final quite confident or very confident
00:54:15i think maria and i are very confident that we're going to be making it through to the grand final
00:54:21i hope bailey chokes on his words because i think that all the effort we did put into the dessert course
00:54:26is paying off so he should be scared well let's try the next dessert
00:54:30marianne bailey's duck egg creme caramel with vanilla trio
00:54:39thank you i really think we have pulled off simple but elegant that looks amazing
00:54:47bon appetit
00:55:00it looks a little bit curdled but i don't know if that's what they're supposed to look like
00:55:15great use of the duck eggs something we haven't really seen before makes me a little bit nervous
00:55:21simple could be bailey and mary's actual soup about we're seeing them nail simplicity tonight
00:55:28i did like it but i did enjoy ours more i found it a bit eggy in flavor i don't know if that's what
00:55:37it's meant to taste like but i can definitely taste the duck egg yeah um girl what are you talking about
00:55:43it's definitely not eggy mine is a little bit curdled i don't know what that is but it's okay
00:55:49can you believe it
00:55:53i think the aftertaste i get was a little bit bitter
00:55:56and then this didn't have much flavor it's just a nice little textural crunch
00:56:02i'm getting very irritated with law and liu's comments they should say positive feedback they
00:56:07shouldn't be taking us down do you think you're deserves enough to catapult you in i hope it's
00:56:13enough i want nothing more than to get through that grand final would be an absolute dream come
00:56:17true to be in the grand finale with justin and will who do you think is going to go through
00:56:22really don't have much thinking going on at the moment i just hope that lil and i get through
00:56:25i think it's a very worthy dessert for the semi-final and for me both law and lil and bailey and i have
00:56:36done a very good job so who's going through though bailey and i i feel we've done a better job than
00:56:42law and lil we work so well in the kitchen together and i just want to hear that our creme caramels are
00:56:49amazing from the judges this is a huge moment for both cooking teams who will be the second team
00:56:58into the grand final colin and i will take a little time to consider our thoughts we'll see you back
00:57:04here shortly thank you seeing both teams work is so hard today has shown that they're solid contenders
00:57:12for the grand final like they are going to be some stiff competition yeah absolutely
00:57:19coming up prayer buddy lol and lil this is it with a grand final spot on the line
00:57:32will lol and lil's two-in-one deserve give them the edge i'm worried the pastry was a 10 out of 10.
00:57:49we've been told since the first night of incident restaurants that we were going home first
00:57:58so to make it to grand final would just be like a dream come true
00:58:05it will be devastating for us getting eliminated tonight
00:58:09i'm so nervous i don't think i ever felt so nervous in my life
00:58:13both teams have shown that they're solid competitors okay we need to bring our a game in the grand final
00:58:24brian bailey lol and lil either team could give justin and will a run for their money in the grand final
00:58:32of course only one team will be moving forward and it's been a bloody hard decision
00:58:41well now it's time to reveal our thoughts
00:58:46lord and lil for mail you served us sous vide lobster with lobster hollandaise and pickle funnel salad
00:58:54obviously the lobster was inconsistent cooking it was a huge piece of meat that was sort of not really
00:59:02looked after but i thought the hollandaise okay well with that lobster the hollandaise it was a little
00:59:10bit salty but you know what it worked and then you had the pickle salad it sort of had the makings of a
00:59:16really nice lobster roll without the roll yeah i thought it was good but it wasn't great yeah
00:59:25i definitely feel like we have a chance it was just the cook of the lobster that was inconsistent
00:59:30and if theirs doesn't scratch up then we have a very good chance of going to the grand final
00:59:36marie and bailey your main was truffle and porcini tagliatelle with wild mushroom sauce
00:59:46the quality of the pasta was amazing the flavor of the pasta alone was amazing
00:59:52that sauce beautiful the the flavor of the dried mushrooms seeped in there there was definitely truffle
00:59:58in there and i think some of your main courses have had 50 000 things going on and this one had four
01:00:05and it's one of the best you've cooked for me it was full of flavor it was full of heart and i had
01:00:09personally thank you maria good job don't jump ahead but yes i think we're good now for dessert
01:00:22lol and lil for dessert you gave us berry panna cotta and vanilla creme tart i've never seen it and i
01:00:30probably will never see it again but it kind of worked that pastry was a 10 out of 10 just alone thank you
01:00:39we all sat at the table all i could hear was crack crack crack crack of the pastry and that that is
01:00:44the sign of a very good pastry creme patissier tick berry panna cotta jiggle jiggle jiggle not too sweet
01:00:53but sweet enough with a little bit of hint of berry in there frankly i thought it was an absolute great
01:00:58dessert thank you so much yay he loved it i was really hoping manu would love it 10 out of 10 just the pastry
01:01:06alone i'll take it hearing lo and lil's positive critique from the judges this is the most stress
01:01:14that i felt this whole competition like they definitely could beat us here marie and bailey
01:01:20for dessert we had duck egg creme caramel with vanilla trill a creme caramel it's a childhood memory
01:01:29for me flavor was delicious it was rich that duck egg really shone for me the twill added that little
01:01:36bit of texture every element was on that plate for a reason even the one raspberry and a little bit
01:01:42of cream cut through the richness of the duck egg the technique and the flavor was there it was simple
01:01:48and it was elegant thank you thank you thank you wow great we did it that's like the best
01:01:55feedback we've ever had so this is our decision
01:02:02there's no doubt that this one is close
01:02:05this is this is it after careful consideration the winner on the second team into the mike itron rules
01:02:23grand final is
01:02:34marianne bailey
01:02:37and now you face the boys well done guys yeah congratulations maria and bailey have finally found
